GA Gives Day Nov. 13th

Charities across Georgia will again rally the state’s collective philanthropic spirit on Thursday, Nov. 13 for the second annual GA Gives Day 2013 through www.GAGIVESDAY.ORG.  We are asking members  to get involved by spreading the word and giving to a cause you care about.  For those unfamiliar, on November 13th, over 1600 nonprofits throughout Georgia, along with major media, corporate, government and philanthropic leaders will try to engage over 10,000 donors to give to a cause of their choice in one 24 hour period.  The objective of the day is to celebrate the work and worth of nonprofits in our everyday lives and to celebrate the spirit of generosity in our state by raising as much awareness and as much money as possible during that timeframe.  100% of all donations go directly to your causes.

In 2012, Georgia Gives Day inspired more than 7100 generous donors from Georgia and beyond to give $900,000 dollars, making the event one of the most generous days in Georgia History.  Donations last year reached nearly 1300 organizations across the state. 20% of donors had never given to charity before.

With an emphasis on mobile giving and over $200,000 in prizes and incentive funds available for participating nonprofits, organizers are helping charities find new donors at a time when new revenue sources and reaching new donors is more important than ever.  Incentives and prizes are fun ways to engage the public to get engaged in the day by making their contributions go farther during the 24-hour giving marathon.
